I've lost track how many football experts swear that Indy won't miss him.

Yeah, and as usual the experts will be wrong. Indy will still be good in the regular season, but how can you not miss a guy with Edge's multi-dimensional talent

His presence alone opened up Indy's passing attack. I think a key reason for their post season defeats was not giving him enough carries.

End of 1st qtr. Dallas 10 Jacksonville zip. Raining hard, but mostly on the team in white.

I respect the 'Boys defense but it also appears that the Jags offense hasn't improved much.

I agree wholeheartedly about that. They change their gameplan from the regular season to the playoffs to their peril. Dungy needs to stick with the attack that got em there.

I think part of it is related to their defense. They're not built to shut down a strong running attack so Dungy needs his offense to put the opposition into a big hole forcing them to abandon the ground game. Edge got the carries early in the game but the longer Indy went without putting points on the board the more and more Peyton dropped back to throw.

Warner could have a nice year now that defenses have to worry about Edge.

Coming in to the game there was much trepidation about their d-line. I'm not impressed with it at all. I know Stroud is hurt but still, the Cowboys o-line is a work in progress and they should be able to exploit them.

Btw, Bledsoe making some poor throws or this would be 17-0 easily.

Well Drew isn't about to change his ways after 13 years in the league.

One more TD might be all the 'Boys need today.

Dallas has looked much less impressive since the opening drive

Parcells always gets conservative offensively when he gets a lead. This team doesn't execute well at that tempo.
